Remote Controlled Ducks

Posted on Jul 29, 08 01:45 AM PDT

Is nothing sacred to the world of remote controls? Some bright spark took his R/C boating experience to work on a fake duck version.

I ended up buying a pair of duck decoys at the local flea market for $10. These are intended to be used by duck hunters to lure unsuspecting water foul within blasting range. When researching what kind of cheap R/C boat I could find to tear apart and reassemble into the duck, I found the yellow 10" submarine at RadioShack on sale for $20. They are available in two different channel frequencies, so I bought one of each, (excited now that I might be able to make two!). So now all I had to do was figure out a way to connect the ducks to the submarines in a fashion that would allow them to look and float like real ducks.

The next thing you know, these will be able to be controlled by a Wiimote or Wii Nunchuk.
